FAQs: What about Qualifications?
Loading...
Uploaded by EducationOtherwise on Aug 24, 2009
In this short Voxbox film, three home educated young people answer the frequently asked question "what about qualifications" and share their very different stories. Their experiences help to show how qualifications - or the lack of them - does not have to be a barrier tor a home educated young person going onto to college or university.

Interesting interviews - I'd love to see more from home-ed kids who have taken GCSEs, as I'm continually surprised by how many there are. Like one of the interviewees, I went to Oxford and was also struck by the similarities with home education. Educational resources are available, but the student is responsible for her own learning. You get high-quality one-to-one time (with parents, tutors, or others who are knowledgeable about the subject), but you're not spoon-fed; you learn how to LEARN.

I can't wait to show my 'weird' (confident, articulate person who knows who he is and what he wants) home-educated 'tweenegar these videos. :>)

Best video so far. I have so many people to send this to. A lot of people are happy when children are younger to accept home education, but my eldest is now 12 years old and some friends are querying what is going to happen without GCSE's as if they are the be all and end all.

Thankyou for sharing you personal experiences for us. Very reassuring for a HE parent with a child approaching the teens : )

Why would anyone go to school when you see these videos - congratulations to you all and good luck with your exciting futures!

Hmm is it me or is this film testament to the fact that home-schooled children are weird?

It's just you! What is weird about them? Is it because they are confident? Articulate? Know what they want from life? Realise that they don't have to change who they are in order to fit into someone else's box?
The film is actually testament to the fact that home education allows people the freedom to be themselves.
